Sermon Video: The Supremacy of the Son of God - Colossians 1:15-20

Having finished his introduction, Paul now turns in his letter to the church at Colassae to the budding heresy there that prompted the writing of this letter.  The proto-Gnosticism at Colassae denied the full deity of Jesus Christ, Paul chooses to confront this error head-on by repeatedly emphasizing the nature of Jesus as the one in whom the "fullness" of God dwelt, and the one who was intimately involved in the creation of everything that exists, both in the physical and spiritual realms, going so far as to say that "all things" were created, by, through, and for him.  In addition, Paul confirms that Jesus was both the means and the end of God's reconciliation of humanity to himself.  In the end, Paul rejects soundly the still to come Arminian heresy, a heresy that will later be revived by the Jehovah's Witnesses.
